Julie Carrion

Julie made a necessary commitment to yoga as a coping mechanism during some intense years as a chef in New York City restaurants. Her love of yoga and its uplifting philosophical principles inspired her to continue to study and eventually teach. She has trained with many teachers since then, but was certified to teach in Austin, Texas at Yoga Yoga studios, where she later served on the Yoga Yoga Teacher Training faculty.

She trained to teach Ashtanga Yoga with Sharon Moon, Manju Jois, David Swenson, and Mark Darby. While immersed in the study of Ashtanga Yoga, she met Anusara teacher Mary Keator, and her teaching path and personal practice shifted dramatically. She went on to study with Anusara founder John Friend and is now a licensed Anusara-Inspired teacher.

As a teacher, she honors the unique differences and intrinsic goodness of each student. Each class has an uplifting heart-oriented theme, which is typical of an Anusara-inspired class. Her classes use flowing postures, breathing, and a meditative focus to improve the mental, emotional, and physical condition of the body. She strives to share her belief that even in the face of challenges or physical limitations, yoga provides real tools for living an ecstatically happy life.
